Madlib - Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6 Review

It's a tribute to Dilla, and uses a lot of samples of Dilla's music and that Dilla used in his music. It's a Beatkonducta disc, meaning a little incoherent, a little meandering, but worth owning. Here's a track off of it.

Where I'm From

I grew up near Santa Cruz and live in San Francisco. The first album I bought was Herbie Hancock's Future Shock. I buy too many albums. I think about music too much. This is an outlet for my musings on everything from punk to hip hop, so my friends don't have to put up with my rambling.

I am a regular contributor to RapReviews. I used to write for Blogcritics.org. My work has appeared in print in the now-defunct Clamor magazine.
